Horizons of Significance: On Painting

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-painting.html

The following is from an e-mail I wrote a friend, a painter. I post it here because while it was intended as a response to a particular person, a friend and colleague, it also continues ruminations I've had here in the post Drawing Distinctions. And the thread of posts since then, including most recently, On Creativity. I've been thinking about your paintings and what you wrote about them. Part of the reason I've waited to respond has been wanting time for my thoughts to percolate. Applies to painting as...

Horizons of Significance: 08.2009

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

The "Wall of Desperation". I remember visiting Conimbriga. As a child. I was back as a young man with a bride. Back again, much later, with a wife. Was a place, a symbol of the reach of empire, the power of a center basking under a broad hegemon, sprawling across a continent, secure in its position, its power, its future. But for me, from my first sight of it as a young boy, it was as a symbol, striking and poignant, of that empire’s contraction, the collapse, the fall-back of end-game. Was just a rough ...

Horizons of Significance: On Creativity

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-creativity.html

Continuing on this series of posts around the "Origins of Originality" here is another piece that has been ripening for a while. On re-reading John Berger last spring, I was taken not only by the character of his writing and its appropriateness to our time, but enamored of his titles, On Visibility. For example. This piece is written with Berger in mind…. Way, establishing some. Limited semblance of what had inspired me. Struggle, accident, rhymes and awkward conjunctions; all of this jumble; of errors a...

I attend to the interplay of perception and creativity. We all find it difficult to see ourselves clearly past the gap between intentions and what is. I’ve asked some colleagues how they see what I do. 8216;To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.’ George Orwell. Someone blessed to live on a small island and work in a studio, perfecting a craft, influenced by nature, living one tide at a time. I have found in your writing an exploration of the edges of ‘everyday’ thoug...Fill in y...

Horizons of Significance: Lilac Blossoms

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009/11/lilac-blossoms.html

A friend has asked me to meditate on an interesting question, well phrased,. What is the origin of originality? As I prepare to look into this question with all its implications presented afresh by the inclusion of origin. Opening up fresh avenues of inquiry, I'm led to go back over pieces I've worked touching on it, even as they don't specifically answer it. The ideal might be a chance breeze engulfing you in their aroma and then, in a flicker of turbulence, moving on. Their smell enters your being ...

Horizons of Significance: The Font

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009/12/font.html

Establishing flow, maintaining it, those are the jobs of the thinker, writer, artist. Here is where our daily concerns should lie, this is where our care should be spent. Artifacts have value, just as, those drops of precious water, carelessly spilled, will go on to help re-new our font, or feed another spring. Posted by Antonio Dias.

Horizons of Significance: 10.2009

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html

Rob Wigsten, In memoriam. This is the text I read yesterday at Rob Wigsten's Memorial Service. I will be writing more about Rob, and what he means to me; but for today, I wanted to get this post up. Rob taught me that. Not in so many words, although he did use so many words! That’s part of the point. Rob liked to talk. There I said it! But he talked because, for him, life was interesting, full of import. He burst with life and had to share it. He did share his life through an outpouring of words. But und...

Horizons of Significance: From Wood End…

http://antoniodiasri.blogspot.com/2009/11/from-wood-end.html

From Wood End…. Today, I'm inaugurating a new experiment. Two new experiments, actually. I'm posting my first non-essay, a poem, From Wood End…. And also my first podcast; a reading of From Wood End…. The physical proximity to where the Pilgrims first landed, and the proximity in season to that time of year when they came to this place provided the ground on which I built this work. That's as much as I want to say about it…. From Wood End…. The hills of Plymouth break the western horizon. Or the last lin...
